British Competition Authority Makes New Accusation Against Google
Google, the internet giant, has recently come under fire for allegations of monopolization. A federal judge in the US has made a groundbreaking ruling, declaring that Google has established an “illegal monopoly” in internet search and search advertising.
The case, which has pitted the US Department of Justice against Google, has finally come to a conclusion. The court concluded that Google is indeed a monopoly and has taken actions to protect that monopoly, in violation of the Sherman Act.
This decision marks a significant development in the field of internet technologies and has reignited the debate surrounding Google’s dominance in the market. The company has faced similar accusations in various countries, with the UK Competition and Markets Authority also raising concerns about Google’s practices.
According to the UK authority, Google may have violated competition laws by leveraging its dominant position to favor its own advertising services. The agency stated that Google’s actions have harmed competition, ultimately affecting advertisers and publishers in the market.
Furthermore, the UK authority highlighted that Google has disadvantaged its ad tech rivals and prevented them from competing on a fair and level playing field. This latest accusation adds to the growing scrutiny surrounding Google’s business practices and raises questions about the company’s impact on competition in the digital advertising market.
